Thanks for visiting me!

If you use the squat rack to put the bar at about chest height then duck underneath and stand so the the bar is now touching you shoulders, back up a little and now do your squats. I was really intimidated the first time I used a squat rack, but now it's nothin.

I do the jacknifes as a tuck aswell, once I build up my balance and core strength I will work on the pike version.
